Nowadays Internet is becoming such an important part of our lives that we feel lost if we cannot access it!
Wherever we are, we need access to WIFI. We are indeed spoiled since we can
find free WIFI access almost everywhere: shopping centers, cafes, trains,
buses, airports…even in entire neighbourhoods!
A sign in Columbia City, Seattle, Washington indicates that the entire neighborhood is a wifi zone. (Photo credit:Wikipedia)
